Near field communication
The promises and pitfalls of a technology that will change your life.
Last night I had the opportunity to participate on a panel about Near Field Communications (NFC) technology hosted by the MIT Enterprise Forum Northwest. This was a great event and a really enjoyable experience for me. The panel had some great participants with focused industry experience.
After the moderated panel discussion, the audience had a chance to ask questions. Some of the best ones included:
- Technology is always used in unanticipated ways. What do you see as the unanticipated uses for NFC?
- How would a drug dealer use it?
- Isn’t this just a big ad platform?
There is also a companion whitepaper available.

At Blink, we are starting to work with clients who are preparing NFC apps and devices – but much has to happen before this technology will have the impact it should. I was invited to the MIT event because I told Geekwire in an interview that NFC was the most interesting technology on the horizon.
